What is Quality Management?
Quality management is the process of overseeing all the tasks and activities that are required to be completed to conserve a chosen level of quality/ excellence. This involves the determination of creating and implementing quality planning and assurance, a quality policy and quality improvement and quality control.

Quality management principles are:

- Evidence-based decision making
These principles can vary from organisations to organisations and can change over time.
